Heard lines like that once… still living with the echo
At my age, I know—freedom’s sweet, but love’s heavier
That cowboy spoke what most of us were too scared to say
Took me 70 years to learn a man’s heart always belongs to someone
Not many words, but damn… that’s the truth of a lifetime
Reminds me of the one I let slip away back in ’72
Old bones remember better than young hearts ever will
Some men ride free, some ride alone… but no man escapes love
That touch says more than a thousand fights I ever saw
Wish I had said it first, before time stole my chance
